- Description
- This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought, a market survey for written information only. This is not a Request for Quote (RFQ) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). This announcement is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, implied or otherwise, to issue a solicitation or award a contract. This announcement is issued as full and open with small businesses being encouraged to provide a response. The purpose of this announcement is to identify those businesses with appropriate expertise that might be interested in responding to a formal solicitation for the fabrication of the Target Detecting Device (TDD) MK 71 Mod 1. The solicitation for proposals will be on a competitive basis for a build-to-print fabrication effort to produce the Target Detecting Device (TDD) MK 71 Mod 1. The Technical Data Package is distribution limited to U.S. DoD contractors only. The solicitation will include the fabrication and acceptance of a First Article Target Detecting Device (TDD) MK 71 Mod 1. The scope of this effort also includes four option years with between 50 and 200 units based on stepladder pricing. Firm fixed price orders will be placed based on stepladder pricing with a minimum quantity of fifty (50) units for the base contract, up to a potential of 200 units, and options that may be exercised through the following four (4) years for quantities between 50 and 200 units. NOTE: This device includes three passive sensors that are designed to provide high sensitivity and minimal electrical/electronic noise. Specialized materials, skills, and manufacturing experience are required to produce them. The materials require sources of supply that specialize in pure metals and synthesized ceramics. These include Permeable Magnetic Metal, Ceramic Peizo Electric crystals, and potting requiring detailed vacuuming, layering, and aging as part of the curing process. The necessary skill sets of manufacturing personnel are those that are honed for specialized assembly techniques and procedures that are beyond routine electronic or mechanical micro devices. These include magnetic core winding, ceramic kiln firing and aging, and multi-step assembly with precise in-process measurements. Manufacturing experience and techniques required are those that apply to low power, high signal-to-noise ratio devices and therefore requires a background in sensor and circuit spatial relationships and noise abatement techniques specific to those of high impedance, low power devices that are critical for target detection. The period of performance will be for a five year (60 months) period if all options are exercised. The solicitation will contain drawings and data that is distribution limited to DoD and U.S. DoD Contractors. The work to be performed under this contract is CONFIDENTIAL. Classified information will not be releasable to foreign nationals or personnel processing Reciprocal clearance without the written approval of NSWC PCD (Code CXG).
